One key takeaway
- Distinctions, systems, relationships and perspectives, or DSRP, enables you to construct or deconstruct systems of infinite complexity, but getting started with DSRP is actually easy. Pick something you're thinking about in your daily life and ask yourself four simple questions. Number one, what are the distinctions I'm making when I frame this issue? Number two, what are its salient parts? Number three, what are the relationships among these parts that I'm not seeing? And number four, what different perspectives could I take to better understand this issue? Over time, if you apply these four questions over and over again to anything, you'll become cognizant of the structure of your own thinking and gain a more robust understanding of any issue, greater mental flexibility concerning it, and be better positioned to address it.
